Also, my surgery was anterior, not posterior, that may have a factor in it too.
Glad your husband is doing well! nice to see success stories!

Thanks Cathie,
I hope you are feeling well.
It is odd, he was told at his appointment last week he only has to wear it when he drives. Once he went from the big collar 2 weeks post op the spasmas subsided tremendously then when he didn't have to wear even the soft collar only to drive the spasms have almost gone away. The only time he still gets them is sometimes if he's getting up from a complete laying down position to standing, it will start and then subside once he's up and moving around.
Thanka again,
